I do try to take constructive information with an open mind. But I do also accept the fact that everyone has a right to their own opinion. This in mind I will simply state in response to your question, I do not consider this trading off privacy/freedom for security. For one, I would NOT be sitting on the internet, thinking, I wonder where my daughter is right now, and invade her privacy, or restrict where she can be at any time using it(freedom). I have no problem with her going out with friends, because I trust her. However I don't trust the sickos out there. So I consider that I am not trading off anything to secure her SAFETY, not security, which In my definition are two separate words when it comes to my children. I would never consider locking her up in a room until she is 18 like someone earlier had suggested. I just simply state that until she is on legal age in the US, I will do ANYTHING to secure her safety. She is my daughter, and NOTHING in my life is more important than my children. That's just the simple truth.
This said I do understand how some people may take this device and use it improperly to spy on their kids, and I am not advocating it to become mandatory, Just answering the question posted as to MY choice. GOD I LOVE THIS FORUM! I just discovered it like this week and am REALLY enjoying the openess I find here! Thankx guys and gals!
